Artist's Description

During winter, the deciduous trees lose their summer covering of leaves and stand bare, waiting for the turn of the seasons when they will bloom again.

These trees are standing in the wooded glen of the Birks o’ Aberfeldy.

The Birks o’ Aberfeldy is a popular circular walk through wonderful mixed woodland on the outskirts of Aberfeldy in the Breadalbane region of Highland Perthshire (Breadalbane means “Highland Scotland” in Gaelic). Shot taken on Saturday 20th December 08 in the middle of our winter.

Originally known as the ‘Den of Moness’. The name changed following the visit of poet Robert Burns in August 1787, when he penned his song ‘The Birks o’ Aberfeldy’.

The Birks (meaning Birch) of Aberfeldy is a stunning wooded glen, and offers approximately 2 miles of well surfaced and way marked trails and paths along the edge of a steep gorge, through which flows the Moness Burn. The circular walk crosses the burn twice, with the upper bridge affording excellent views down the gorge.
